Balance

The hardest part about running with a little one is balance. I have a tough time balancing everything to get it all in (and I know I have it a bit easier since I don't work). But, my hubby travels a lot and that makes it even harder. But running = sanity, so I make the time. Some days/weeks are more difficult than others, but I like to see the progress I've made and be able to say I got it done. Sometimes the housework slips a bit but oh well :-).

One thing I'm having a tough time with now is when to run. Since hubby is away lot I can't get up at the crack of dawn to get my workout in, which is what I would prefer. So....I have to wait for J to wake up and give him breakfast. By the time I get all this done it's 9:00 and hot as heck outside. The weather has been awesome the last couple weeks; until today. Today was wretchedly hot out...and humid. Luckily it was a rest day for me. But I have a feeling tomorrow will be just as awful. And tomorrow is a longer run. We'll see how this goes!

It's really hard to balance life and running. I have found that I have to get up really early a couple of days a week and other days I do a mixture of baby jogger/treadmill/late evening runs to fit it in. I'm not naturally a flexible person, but I've had to become WAY more flexible in my post-baby life.
